AntiSec’s UDID Leak Came From Apps-Publisher and not FBI

CEO of BlueToad, Paul DeHart, while speaking to NBC News disclosed this information. The CEO said with “100 per cent confidence” that the company was the original source of the information that Lulzsec had leaked. The CEO further said that the company then reached out to appropriate authorities to “take responsibility,” of what had happened.

Apple has also officially confirmed to NBC that BlueToad as a developer is likely to have such kind of information. Cupertino also revealed that such information wouldn’t be associated with information that may identify an individual.

The app-published revealed that now the company no longer collects UDID data and as Apple has discouraged this practice it is planning to remove it entirely sometime “soon.” BlueToad has also revealed that it is not planning to notify individuals whose UDIDs may have been stolen.
